Isaiah 5:24

“And in the greatness of Your exaltation You pull down those who rise up against You; You send forth Your burning anger, and it devours them as chaff.

“His roots are dried below, And his branch is cut off above.

Because they had rebelled against the words of God And spurned the counsel of the Most High.

Alas, sinful nation, People heavy with iniquity, Seed of evildoers, Sons who act corruptly! They have forsaken Yahweh; They have spurned the Holy One of Israel; They have become estranged from Him.

And the strong man will become tinder, His work also a spark. Thus they shall both burn together, And there will be none to quench them.

and the head of Ephraim is Samaria and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah. If you do not establish your faith in Yahweh, you surely shall not be established.”’”

“Then the house of Jacob will be a fire And the house of Joseph a flame; But the house of Esau will be as stubble. And they will set them on fire and consume them So that there will be no survivor of the house of Esau,” For Yahweh has spoken.

Like tangled thorns, And like those who are drunken with their drink, They are consumed As stubble fully dried up.

“For behold, the day is coming, burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every worker of wickedness will be chaff; and the day that is coming will set them aflame,” says Yahweh of hosts, “so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.”

“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vine-grower.
